ISSUE:
- Dream Act
- illegal immigration
“While hard-working, law-abiding, middle-class New Yorkers struggle to make ends meet, Senate Democrats pandered to their radical New York City base and voted to give illegal aliens taxpayer-funded college tuition. No longer in New York State are you rewarded for working hard and following the rules. Senate Dems are creating a culture in our state where law and order takes a back seat to political theater and re-election. As long as there is a single resident of our state struggling to put their child through higher education, I will not support free college for those who do not pay into the system.”
